'Z' category security for Baba Ramdev

Yoga exponent Ramdev has been provided with a 'Z' category security by the central government taking into account his "vulnerability to attacks from his opponents". The decision has been taken by the Home Ministry after receiving inputs from security agencies and increased perception of threat to Ramdev, official sources said. So far, Ramdev was entitled to 'Z' category security only within the jurisdiction of Uttarakhand as per a decision of the state government. Close to saffron forces, Ramdev, founder of Haridwar-based Patanjali Yogpeeth, had met Prime Minister Narendra Modi earlier this month.
